AM I WRONG?

Question

So my husband's sister called him and was excited to tell him about the baby #3. I ran to the bathroom and cried. I was hurt or maybe just over sensitive.  I've been wanting to have one for 3 years now but seems like that gift is too impossible to get.  I get upset whenever I've heard about a family member got pregnant.  I mean I'm happy for them but deep inside I'm sad . Is it normal or I have to quit being too over sensitive?
P.S. it's okay to judge me. I just need to let it out.

Accepted Answer

It sucks sometimes when someone else gets pregnant while you’re trying, but its important to remember it might have been a silent struggle for them to become pregnant as well. Try to see the other side.

Answer

No hun your not being over sensitive, it's a very emotional time when ttc and even more so when those around you are falling pregnant, I know exactly how you feel it took 4 and a 1/2 years before we fell pregnant with our first and that was after giving up trying because I felt like maybe it just wasn't meant for me, I know it's easier said then done but try and stay positive hun! Sending baby dust your way 🤗

Answer

I'm always excited for other women when they tell me their pregnant. I never been the type to question things or say why not me. Just be happy and say I know my day coming and until than let's celebrate. Women get joy outta having something they know u want so why give them the satisfaction. Everything that glitter ain't gold. Wish'em well and focus more on your happiness.

Answer

It really sucks. I have lost friends because I cannot handle my emotions with it. My friends complain how awful it is being pregnant. How hard it is being home with the kids. Complaining about being a parent. I stop talking to them. 
I know this is terrible to say but I really hope my sister has troubles getting pregnant for her 2nd. Only reason I say that is, she made fun of me and rubbed it in my face how easy she can get pregnant and i cant. She got it 1st month not trying and I'm on 4 yrs now.

Answer

I understand completely. I struggled to concieve for 14 years and was always kinda hurt and jealous when other people I knew got pregnant. It helped me to tell myself that what was meant to happen would find a way. After finally getting myself to the point of being ok with not ever having a baby of my own I got pregnant with my son.

Answer

I did the same thing when I found out 2 people in my family got pregnant by accident (1 with baby #3 and one with their first) I’ve been trying since January to get pregnant on purpose and so I was heartbroken when they got pregnant without trying to. As long as you are still happy for them (even if it’s deep down right now) and harbor no bad feelings against them for it, it’s fine to feel that way

Answer

It’s okay to be sad for yourself but try to remind yourself that you wouldn’t wish your infertility struggles on anyone. Once I changed my mindset to view it that way, it honestly helped me cope. I got mad at myself when I would cry when someone would announce a pregnancy and I didn’t feel that was right. I started to tell myself every baby is a blessing and if I get lucky someday I hope people are excited for me and not bitter about it. I finally got pregnant after 4 years thanks to IVF. During treatments we found out I never could’ve gotten pregnant naturally and it all made sense. I wish I had gone to the doctor sooner but now my son will be loved more than anything in the world since I struggled for 4 years to get him. 
I pray you get your baby soon. Infertility is hard and depressing but try to focus on your goal ❤️
